Blitz Fibre zero customer support
I got a call from my daughter today to inform me that we had no internet. I asked for pics of the TP link and the fibre unit. I saw it was the TPlink that was faulty. After wasting time at work trying to get Cool Ideas to test the line whom refused I was told to call from home. I did this and the guy that assisted me kept making me out to be a fool as the 192.... did not work. The guy from Cool Ideas put the phone down in my ear. I eventually found out the fault was actually Blitz whom never informed anyone of the "scheduled maintenance" hence nothing worked like trying to test the TPLink on the 192.... way. This cost me a living fortune in calls waiting on lines. Further, every night after 7pm while watching Netflix on a 10meg line the tv goes fuzzy. We have been told that the line is split many times and not a 1-1 line that we were sold on upfront. Blitz just feel nothing for customer service as they would have informed all their sign up in our estate hence not costing me a fortune and been made a fool of by Cool Idea. Please be careful try the likes of Mweb etc as they6 treat custoemes like gold and not just in it to take your money.

Dear Sheldon
Thank you for your message.
As per the first letter, if the fibre is still being built/installed in the complex, updates on the build will be sent to our clients - the ISP (Cool Ideas in your case). They will update their clients accordingly and do pre-orders etc. Updates to the ISP from Blitz happen weekly on a Monday at 4pm.
Similarly, any scheduled maintenance work on any fibre in a complex will be sent to the client (ISP) as and when it is due. They will inform their clients accordingly.
Blitz Fibre install fibre in the complex to get the complex fibre ready. When the fibre in the street becomes live, the complex can be lit. If there are any issues with the live fibre in the pre-installed complex, this will be dealt with as per individual unit via the ISP.
Payment for your connection should only be billed once the fibre is live. So it could be that a complex is fibre ready but not live yet - thus no billing to take place from ISP side.
If there is a temporary link at the complex, the units will have access to internet via a wireless link. There will be a charge for this from the ISP. You mention paying for a service yet your complex is not fibre live yet?
Sheldon, kindly send a mail to *** with your complex name so Blitz can provide some clarity on the fibre status and possibly assist in shedding some light on your current link.
